{"product_id":"2940012344571","title":"An Essay on the Mosaic Account of the Creation and Fall of Man","description":"THERE are not a few difficulties in the account, which Moses has given\u003cbr\u003e   of the creation of the world, and of the formation, and temptation, and\u003cbr\u003e   fall of our first parents. Some by the six days of the creation have\u003cbr\u003e   understood as many years. Whilst others have thought the creation of\u003cbr\u003e   the world instantaneous: and that the number of days mentioned by Moses\u003cbr\u003e   is only intended to assist our conception, who are best able to think\u003cbr\u003e   of things in order of succession. No one part of this account is fuller\u003cbr\u003e   of difficulties, than that which relates to man. And some learned Jews,\u003cbr\u003e   as well as Origen, and others among Christians, have supposed the\u003cbr\u003e   account before us, not to be a history, but an allegory. The present\u003cbr\u003e   prevailing opinion is, that what relates to man is fact. And it is\u003cbr\u003e   argued, that, as the true character of Moses is that of an historian;\u003cbr\u003e   it would be unbecoming his judgment and exactness, to insert an\u003cbr\u003e   allegory in the midst of historical facts, without giving any\u003cbr\u003e   intimation of it.","brand":"New Century Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069273784560,"sku":"2940012344571","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012344571_p0.jpg?v=1763567511","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012344571","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
